I live on two floors in Kaohsiung, the second floor is my spacious studio apartment and then I have a spare room with a bed etc and attached own bathroom downstairs which is sitting empty and for which I pay extra rent. Is there a way of monetising this space? Let travelers or business people stay for a few days at a time? I know there the Airbnb thing but I was thinking more casually/ informally
There used to be couchsurfing, but they made the site terrible this year
It is illegal without owner’s agreement and registration as a hotel kind business. iiuc.
I heard someone talked about renting an apartment and turning it into a air bnb. I don’t know the laws on them because people keep saying it’s illegal in Taiwan. But he said he did it in China.
Give me some time to work this one out.
EDIT: You heard someone say that they had rented an apartment in China and turned it into an Air bnb?
Basically, he’s saying that white people invented racism.
Have you considered using it as a factory or a greenhouse and selling your products on the internet?
Well, if you are going to use it as a green house for natural products…
Sativa or indicus?
Maybe use it as inventory or stock storage for someone’s small business or something? Or a quiet study room for university students? It has its own entrance and lock and key.
This is actually not such a daft idea. Microgreens and salad leaves are big business in Taiwan these days, and you’d be able to get an awful lot of salad from a few square meters given adequate lighting (which, given Taiwan’s low power prices, shouldn’t be an issue). Only problem I can think of would be food regulations - how many hoops would you have to jump through to sell a few kilos of lettuce on the internet?
